The caravan of migrants, mostly from violence-wracked Honduras and other Central American countries, has infuriated President Donald Trump, who through a series of tweets has been putting pressure on Mexico to take action against the migrants.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants to use the military to secure the U.S.-Mexico border until his promised border wall is built and warned Mexico to halt the passage of "caravans" of immigrants or risk U.S. abandonment of NAFTA. (April 3)

Mexico, in turn, announced that its government has deported about 400 of the migrants, while also processing requests from migrants for documents to stay in Mexico.

Trump has been tweeting about the caravan since Easter morning after the Fox News program "Fox & Friends" and other media outlets reported that a caravan of more than 1,000 migrants was traveling to the U.S. border and Mexican authorities were doing little to stop them.

In the tweets, the president has threatened to end the North American Free Trade Agreement, and has blamed Democrats, Mexico and Central American countries for allowing migrants and drugs to flow into the U.S.

The caravan is still together in southern Mexico in the state of Oaxaca. Their next stop is in the state of Puebla, before continuing on to Mexico City, Mensing said in a text message.

The caravan is "still together, arranging documents with MX immigration, next stop Puebla, then meet with gov agencies, then many will go separate ways to apply for asylum in MX or USA," the text said.

Organizers say the annual caravan of migrants is partly intended to call attention to the poverty and violence in Central America pushing people to leave and seek protection in other countries.

The migrant caravan left the town of Tapachula in Chiapas, Mexico's most southern state, on March 25.

They originally had planned to travel on foot and by freight train through Mexico, eventually reaching Caborca, a well-known human smuggling hub, in the state of Sonora, in late April or early May. Caborca is about a two-hour drive south of Lukeville, an Arizona border town.

From there, the migrants had planned to disperse, with many of them traveling to Tijuana to try to enter the U.S. through the San Ysidro port of entry south of San Diego and apply for asylum.
